The fifth signature event of the PGA Tour season<\/a> starts at Trump National Doral in Miami on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler returns after a one-week absence, following his playoff loss to Matt Fitzpatrick at the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Will No. 1-ranked Scheffler deliver and win for the first time since the American Express <\/a>in January?<\/p>\n

Before the first grouping tees off at the Cadillac Championship<\/a> later this week, let\u2019s take a look at who\u2019s projected to win the event other than Scheffler and what players might offer the best value from an odds perspective.<\/p>\n

Cadillac Championship 2026 odds (as of Monday morning, courtesy of DraftKings):<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler (+295)Cameron Young (+1500)Collin Morikawa (+2050)Russell Henley (+2150)Tommy Fleetwood (+2200)Sam Burns (+2600)Patrick Cantlay (+2700)Si Woo Kim (+2900)Hideki Matsuyama (+3100)Viktor Hovland (+3400)Maverick McNealy (+3300)Justin Rose (+3400)Adam Scott (+3500)Chris Gotterup (+3500)Jake Knapp (+3700)Jordan Spieth (+4000)Cadillac Championship winner prediction<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to root against Morikawa<\/a> at this point but feels like the value is sucked a bit dry here, and we\u2019ve missed on Knapp and Gotterup recently so strike those three names off<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Scottie is always intriguing. Where\u2019s the fun in that though? All the way down the board, Spieth being listed over names like Bhatia and Bridgeman. That is not worth the bite. <\/p>\n

Striking more for the middle a bit, the recommendation is Sam Burns at +2600. Recent form is the leading factor, and it\u2019s not hiding on anyone. He was T-7 at Augusta and followed it up with a respectable T-16 in Hilton Head.<\/p>\n

One extra nugget: He\u2019s putting better than everybody above him on this list this season.<\/p>\n

Best longshot to win at Trump Doral National<\/p>\n

Some early season cuts (see: five of them) are giving us a chance to play J.J. Spaun at +5300. The three-time Tour winner should be taken seriously as the \u201cflier\u201d here. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Valero<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

J.J. Spaun delivered two crucial shots to secure a win at the Valero Texas Open. He finished with a 5-under 67, marking his first title since last summer\u2019s U.S. Open.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t make the cut at Augusta but the 2025 U.S. Open winner\u2019s game fits Doral well and he comes in rested off a T-25 at the RBC Heritage. <\/p>\n

First-round leader prediction for Cadillac Championship<\/p>\n

The aforementioned Jacob Bridgeman offers some value at +4100.<\/p>\n

Winning at Riviera <\/a>has boasted his profile a lot but for this specific market look at where he ranks amongst the Tour\u2019s best in first-round scoring average. He\u2019s fifth! Just barely above Matt Fitzpatrick and Cameron Young but still enough to qualify for top five. <\/p>\n

If we\u2019re going more conservatively here, we\u2019ll again just mention Scheffler\u2019s name at +1025. In eight events this season, he ranks first in Round 1 scoring. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"RBC<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The PGA Tour is returning to Trump National Doral\u2019s Blue Monster course next week for the inaugural Cadillac Championship.<\/p>\n

Cadillac Championship best bets<\/p>\n

No reason to stray away from a Tommy Fleetwood top 10 wager now. We\u2019ll gladly gobble up +166 and not complain.<\/p>\n

In the T-20 market, the name to start off with is Nicolai H\u00f8jgaard at +142. The Dane is 13th on Tour on strokes gained total. Going for his 11th consecutive made cut, Ryo Hisatsune is a name worth playing at +182 to finish in the same prop field.<\/p>\n

Drum roll, please … last but not least, Justin Rose to T-20 is the lock of locks for Cadillac. The reigning Torrey Pines winner is priced at -102, which is basically even odds for the Tour\u2019s top player in greens in regulation percentage (Hisatsune is second, for what it\u2019s worth). It\u2019s far from a sexy play but sometimes it\u2019s best to ignore glamor. <\/p>\n

Rose after Masters loss: ‘There’s a lot of runway ahead’<\/p>\n

Justin Rose spoke to the media after the final round at the Masters and said he believes “there’s a lot of runway ahead” for his game, after falling short of the green jacket.<\/p>\n
